Is HitBTC Exit Scamming?

2 pointsby fooled_againabout 4 years ago
HitBTC has disabled withdrawing for Doge, XVG, XEM, and bunch of others. It&#x27;s looking like an exit scam and I feel sick to my stomach. My first cryptocurrency excitement went down with Cryptopia a few years back. Since then I&#x27;ve learned a ton and I&#x27;ve followed good security practices to keep my funds safe, but this really hit me out of the blue.<p>I transferred all my Doges (300k) to HitBTC to sell them, but I noticed that the price is way off. Then I found out that there has been withdrawal issues for a few weeks already, and that customer support was not willing to offer any help other than pointing to the system health monitoring page for updates. Reddit is full of these threads. My funds are stuck, I can&#x27;t withdraw them and I don&#x27;t want to sell them for half price. I know I&#x27;m not alone in this situation either, they have a ton of users. Never any problems for me before this, I don&#x27;t have any other funds there either.<p>I hope I&#x27;m not right about this situation but I feel disgusted, I don&#x27;t know how to go through this again. My heart rate is through the roof. I can&#x27;t sleep or eat. I&#x27;m on sick leave from work because I can&#x27;t keep myself together. My stomach feels hollow and nothing seems real. I had it made but lost it, what the hell am I supposed to do now?
